Quién es quién

Γειά σας! I wanted to become a CIVIS ambassador to help students get a chance for an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience that will enrich them both in their academic, professional but also personal life and personality. I want to be part of this experience and help others to be as well. CIVIS offers programs that tackle problems of the real world and are not just theoretic. Therefore, students and academic staff can combine their knowledge from deferent academic fields and backgrounds for new solutions of today’s world, to make it a better one. 

Becoming a CIVIS Ambassador represents a significant part in my career path and personal development. I believe this role will allow me to enrich my educational knowledge, as well as broaden my cultural perspective, through its very practical and engaging manner.
In my opinion, shaping the Higher Education of tomorrow means adopting a growth mindset, intuition and innovation, in order to face constant challenges- three powerful tools, already mastered and perfected by the CIVIS Alliance. Therefore, its holistic approach to interdisciplinary matters, its multicultural discourse and integrative character, have a crucial impact on the formation of future educated individuals.

Hola everyone! My name is Marina, and I am an Environmental Science undergraduate at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Spending a whole academic year at Stockholm University was a truly transformative experience for me. I realised that stepping out of your comfort zone can bring so many wonderful things.

Now, as a CIVIS Ambassador, I want to keep sharing my enthusiasm with others, and most of all I want to help fellow students create their own unforgettable exchange experiences through CIVIS mobilities. I believe in a more sustainable and diverse future for universities. By promoting mobility, we can build longlasting connections between people from different backgrounds and inspire positive change for the future.

Hallo! In 2020 I did an Erasmus+ semester in Spain and still cherish it as one of my favourite memories. I learned so much during this time, connected to many people I am still in contact with many years later and grew so much studying in Malaga. As a CIVIS ambassador I want to help students experience such an extraordinary time as well, because it affected me immensely. I think most people can benefit from living and studying abroad, it will shape your identity, widen your perspective and help you learn and experience new cultures and therefore become a better student.

Hi, I am Louise and I am studying Cultural Management. As a Civis Ambassador, I strongly believe that learning is not only about content, but also about the learning environment in which it takes place. I have experienced how powerful this initiative can be for students and for higher education as a whole. I believe that we learn better when learning becomes an unforgettable experience. When education is lived, shared and emotionally engaging, knowledge stays with us longer and has a deeper impact.

CIVIS creates exactly this kind of learning environment that allows students to learn by doing, by meeting others and by stepping outside their comfort zones.

Bonjour! I’m representing my university through CIVIS because I experienced firsthand how transformative CIVIS mobility can be for international learning.

During my master’s in international relations and international law, I participated in two short-term mobilities in Greece and Romania, which were enriching both academically and culturally. Having previously completed a longer Erasmus mobility in Switzerland, I came to see how CIVIS short formats provide an accessible and inspiring entry point to international exchange.

I believe CIVIS plays a key role in shaping the future of higher education through flexible, inclusive and interdisciplinary mobility. By doing so, it empowers students to step beyond borders and engage confidently in international learning experiences.

Hola! I’m Laura, a 4th-year Psychology student at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Through the opportunities the CIVIS Alliance provides to collaborate with and learn from people from different academic and cultural backgrounds, it has broadened my perspective on the world and on my academic and personal life. I became an ambassador to bring other students closer to everything this alliance offers, so they can benefit from it just as I have.

I strongly believe that CIVIS plays a central role in encouraging students to expand their knowledge and academic experiences in unique ways. It helps promote essential values for the world we live in today, which are crucial in the education of the professionals of the future.

Ciao! I’m an architecture student, and throughout my university journey, I’ve always sought out as many international experiences and trips as possible. I believe travelling opens your mind, helps you discover new perspectives, and broadens your knowledge. After my first experience abroad, I immediately knew I wanted to do it again, as it gave me so many valuable lessons and personal growth. Through the CIVIS alliance, I hope to support other students who, like me, are eager to take on new challenges and make the most of their mobility experience.

In my view, becoming an Ambassador of the CIVIS Alliance offers a unique opportunity to promote collaboration and exchanges between European universities. Taking part in this alliance means discovering new cultures, broadening one’s worldview, and learning both informally and through academic courses. I wish to become an ambassador to encourage intercultural dialogue, support access to a wide range of courses and experiences, and actively contribute to building a more inclusive and connected European university, where learning goes beyond academic knowledge and helps shape true European citizens.

Hi, I am Michela! I study Law and had the opportunity to spend a study period in Prague through the Erasmus programme—an experience that greatly enriched me both academically and personally. Encountering different cultures and legal systems inspired me to become involved in the CIVIS world, which serves as a bridge between European universities by promoting cooperation, inclusion, and shared growth. I strongly believe in the importance of a united European academic community, capable of fostering common values and shaping open-minded, engaged citizens. Being a CIVIS Ambassador means actively contributing to this project of unity and innovation.

Hello! (ሰላም) My name is Minase Berhane Getachew, and I am a Computer Science Master’s student at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg. I joined the CIVIS Ambassadors program to bridge the gap between diverse student communities and the opportunities available to them. I believe CIVIS is redefining higher education by fostering a borderless academic environment where cross-cultural collaboration is the norm, not the exception. Having navigated the transition from Ethiopia to Europe, I understand the challenges of mobility and am eager to use my experience to support my peers in making the most of this global alliance.

Szia! Hello! I am Eszter Gőbel, a Hungarian first-year law student at Aix-Marseille Université with a deep commitment to international mobility and intercultural exchange. With my multilingual abilities in French, English, and Hungarian, I am passionate about connecting with students across borders to foster an inclusive academic network.

My studies have highlighted the value of diverse perspectives, and I believe that by promoting international mobility, we can create a richer educational experience that transcends national boundaries. Being part of the CIVIS Alliance would be an incredible opportunity to help support an innovative, collaborative Europe where mobility is accessible and encouraged. I believe that for a true university experience, students must profit from the international mobility so that they can enrich their own educational journey. Therefore, I'm excited to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to our shared vision and to work alongside other members of CIVIS in expanding the reach of international education across our Alliance.

Being a CIVIS Ambassador is a very responsible duty. Every year the universities that join the CIVIS Alliance take part in various activities and campaigns that aim to mobilize all the students to join and experience unique moments in their life.

I decided to apply for this place, as I wanted to help my University informing all the students about the educational opportunities, actions and campaigns in order for them to participate and shape their educational future.

Hey! My name is Lena, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in psychology. I have been very lucky to enjoy multiple experiences abroad throughout my life, most recently an exchange through the CIVIS alliance. I therefore strongly believe in the importance of cultural exchange and want to encourage everyone to explore living in other parts of the world – It can be truly life-changing.

By making mobility more accessible, CIVIS shapes students’ academic experiences in meaningful and unique ways, while fostering intercultural understanding – Something especially important in a time where global challenges require cooperation and solidarity across borders.

Bonjour! I am a Student in Master of Law of the Universities of Lausanne and Zurich. After completing two BIPs, I discovered how much CIVIS offered me. It gave me new study perspectives, the chance to discover new places, and the opportunity to meet interesting people from different backgrounds. I wanted others to experience the same, so I became a CIVIS Ambassador.

Not all students have the opportunity to study abroad. CIVIS makes this possible, without so many obstacles, to broaden our minds and gain international experience by meeting people and professors. It truly opens doors beyond our own university, offering a whole new perspective on the world.

Bonjour! I wanted to become a CIVIS Ambassador in order to let more students know what the Alliance has to offer. CIVIS enriches your university experience by allowing you to meet other students and learn about other cultures, thereby broadening your personal horizons. CIVIS allows you to discover resources beyond your course of study, thereby feeding your curiosity during your studies.

Hola! As a medical student, I am committed to learning and growing through collaboration and intercultural exchange. The CIVIS Alliance is a unique platform—bridging European Higher Education with global challenges. Becoming a CIVIS Ambassador motivates me to encourage other students to seize these opportunities and contribute my perspective and passion for building innovative partnerships. I look forward to connecting with fellow students!

Moin! When I first got to know the CIVIS alliance, I was in awe of the many opportunities available to us students – from BIPs and exchange semesters to certificates and more. As an ambassador, my goal is to encourage every student to seize these chances and enrich both their academic and personal development.

CIVIS is an intellectual meeting ground where we can learn with and from each other – the relationships formed through CIVIS programmes are sustainable and enable us young students to shape our fields with the global perspective in mind. After all, academic cooperation across nations and disciplines has always been a cornerstone of strong international relations – and is invaluable when addressing global challenges. Through CIVIS, every one of us can get involved in expanding and strengthening this network of knowledge and friendship!

My motivation to become a Civis Ambassador is the fact that I aspire to have a career in European and International Law.  I aspire to get actively involved in an international academic community in order to promote the values that I strongly believe in, such as collaboration, diversity and inclusion.
I firmly believe that Civis mobilities help students grow both personally and professionally, providing them with a strong foundation to build their future on. Engaging with students from all around Europe offers remarkable insights into the differences and similarities between legal systems, as well as into the ways cultural perspectives influence legal reasoning and decision making.

Hello Everyone! My name is Giordano Piombarolo and I am, currently, a student of Dentistry and Dental Prosthodontics and Biotechnologies at Sapienza University of Rome. My own journey included a unique and unforgettable experience with the opportunity to take part in a full year exchange programme at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

Through this time, I had the chance to not only strengthen and improve the knowledge useful for my studies, but also to enhance my communication, teamwork skills and personal growth. Furthermore, I was able to make connections in a multicultural environment with international students, forming strong and lasting friendships, which made me even more aware of the importance of the values of our Community.

As an ambassador, I am passionate about making these opportunities known and accessible to all, encouraging students to feel as much as possible an active part of Civis and experience their own journey!

Hello there! I’m Jesús, a medical student at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Through several CIVIS courses, I’ve discovered how collaboration across cultures creates true harmony, blending diverse perspectives that enrich both education and personal growth. That’s why I became a CIVIS Ambassador: because this Alliance has shown me that studying medicine goes far beyond science; it’s also about understanding people.
As an ambassador, I hope to inspire my peers to explore these opportunities and join this symphony of ideas shaping a more connected, inclusive, and creative future for Higher Education.
The CIVIS alliance is waiting for you!

I wanted to become a CIVIS Student Council member because my aim as a student representative is to give voice to the needs of the student body in an international context.

This Alliance is an excellent opportunity to create a network of people working towards the goal of widening the walls of our universities and, at the same time, sharing new experiences and knowledge. I believe I am ready to actively participate in the improvement of this project and what it can bring to us.

I wanted to become a CIVIS Ambassador to share the amazing opportunities I discovered during my first mobility in Brussels. Resonating deeply with the Alliance's values, I realized that many students don't know how accessible these experiences are, and I want to change that. CIVIS shapes the future of education by taking learning beyond classroom walls, teaching us to collaborate across cultures and solve real-world problems together, helping us become not just better students, but better people ready for a global world and its challenges.

Hallo zusammen! CIVIS, for me, represents an amazing community — a place to learn from and about new people, ideas, and cultures. It has allowed me to broaden my horizons beyond my medical studies and to integrate a more universal perspective into my university experience. I am convinced that joining a CIVIS program offers the opportunity to build bridges and foster a more integrated and inclusive exchange between us as students. That is why I want to encourage others to join and discover their own CIVIS experience. As an Ambassador, I hope to contribute to strengthening this alliance and to building a vibrant, shared community. I’m happy to support anyone getting involved — feel free to reach out!

I decided to become a CIVIS ambassador because I am passionate about cultural exchanges and projects revolving around that. Through my mandate as an Ambassador, I had the opportunity to meet and work with outstanding students from all over Europe.
I believe that this is the main impact CIVIS can have in shaping the Higher Education of tomorrow, bringing bright minds from all over the continent on working together.

Bonjour! I am Emily and I am excited to be part of CIVIS’s European campus. As a trinational student studying Psychology at the university of Lausanne, I know the importance of intercultural immersion and networking. Specifically interested in child development and trauma, I am passionate about giving every person an equal chance towards their own career goals and travels, in a healthy environnement.  I strongly believe that CIVIS opens opportunities to students : on one hand for the multitude of course options, and on the other, as a pathway to breach bridges between universities and expand knowledge across campuses.

Having taken part in a Blended Intense Program in Romania, I can advocate towards the brilliance of this alliance and hope to encourage other students to take the steps to add this program to their academic cursus.

Hej! My name is Louise, and I study history and cinema studies at Stockholm University, leading to a wonderful opportunity for me to study a semester abroad in Glasgow. My exchange became one of the best experiences of my life, and I fell in love with the international community abroad. In a society where it sometimes feels like people from different countries are growing apart, I find it increasingly important to support efforts to bring people together. Now as an ambassador for CIVIS, I want to share my experience and inspire other students to study abroad and see the world!

Hello my name is Emilio Zanzi,

For me CIVIS represents what European universities must be: open, connected, and transformative. It creates a space where ideas, disciplines, and people move freely — not only across borders, but across ways of thinking. I believe in a university that learns through exchange, where collaboration replaces competition, and where culture becomes a shared language.

As a CIVIS Ambassador I am committed to help other students discover this sense of belonging, curiosity, and common purpose that defines our European academic community.
